One of the extremely upsetting items of news concerning the September 11th terrorist attack was the announcement by Planned Parenthood of New York City that they were offering free abortions to the widows whose husbands had lost their lives in the attack. To Planned Parenthood, the leading abortion provider in this country, this offer of free abortions was presented as an act of “charity.” To most women, some of them pregnant for the first time, their unborn child was not a burden to be eliminated but a cherished bond with their deceased loved one. They wanted to love their baby, not kill it.
We often hear of big businesses making large “charitable” contributions, but it is not always obvious just who received these gifts. We need to carefully examine where gifts to “charity” actually go, and for what cause the contributions are used, in order to evaluate their true nature and effect. Many of our leading corporations make donations to Planned Parenthood and other organizations that promote abortion and “family values” opposed to the teaching of our Holy Catholic Church. These include many high-tech computer-related companies, our leading telephone long-distance providers and other producers and marketers of products we use on a daily basis.
In many cases there are available in the marketplace competing services and products from morally acceptable sources. By patronizing those businesses that stand for the values taught by the church, we can better send the message. “God’s will be done!”.
